ABSTRACT: In this study, the comparative effectiveness of three animal wastes (poultry manure, pig manure and cow dung) in improving the productivity of a degraded sandy soil was simultaneously investigated in a greenhouse study. The study was a factorial experiment with four treatment of 0, 5, 10 and 20 tha-1 each of poultry manure (PM), pig manure (PG), cow dung (CD) and control soil. Each treatment was replicated three times. Following the characterization of the plant nutrients, PM relatively had higher concentration of nutrients in all the rates studied compared with PG and CD. All the rates of the wastes studied improved the physico-chemical properties of the degraded soil and adequately supported maize growth and yield relative to the control soil. The wastes improved soil physical....

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to assess the possibility of replacing maize (Zea mays L.) with varying levels of cassava flour (Manihotesculenta) in the diet of the African catfish (Clariasgariepinus). The effect of replacement on growth variables and nutrient utilization were assessed. Five practical diets with varying replacement levels of maize at A (0%), B (25%), C (50%), D (75%), and E (100%), representing the replacement levels were formulated and fed to Clariasgariepinus fingerlings for 8 weeks. Complete randomized design was used and data collected were analyzed using SPSS Version 22. Fish were fed twice daily at 5% body weight/day. Optimum growth and nutrient utilization were assessed. The result of the study indicated that the best SGR (4.44 ± 2.45) was recorded in diet E (100%) while the lowest SGR (3.25 ± 2.57), was recorded in diet B (25%). Weight and......

ABSTRACT: An experiment was conducted at Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike soil science Laboratory to study the effects of poultry manure and wood ash on soil exchangeable potassium and soil pH. The aim was to compare the effects of poultry manure and wood ash on soil pH and the rate of potassium- release with time, from an acid ultisol in Umudike, Abia State. The organic amendments were poultry manure and wood ash which were applied at the rates of 0, 5 and 10 tons per hectare. The treatments were replicated three times in a completely randomized design (CRD). During the experiment, soil samples were collected from the incubated samples and analyzed for pH....

ABSTRACT: Tuberculosis of goat is a zoonotic, highly infectious bacterial diseases caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex subsp. caprae. The duration of the study was from January to June, 2017. According to this study there was no significant different of the disease between male and female (p=0.746). The highest number of positive TB was found in female goats that are equivalent to 7.14%, while Inclusive was 11.43% and the negative was 81.43%. In terms of males the positive rate was 4.44%, the inclusive test was 8.89% whereas the negative case was 86.67%. In this study showed there was non-significant difference of the disease among goat breeds (P=0.215) as demonstrated in (table 4.2). The highest prevalence rate11.42% was recorded in the breed of Jamunapari followed by Cross breed....

ABSTRACT: Background: Improving the physical and bacteriological properties of foods by safe additives is necessary for wholesome and quality of foods. Because of the reported hazards of chemical additives, many studies were conducted to replace it with natural additives, especially herbal oils that not only have antimicrobial activity, but also enhance flavor and other sensory characters of foods.
Materials and Methods:The current study was designed to investigate the impact of clove (Syzygiumaromaticum); thyme (Thymus vulgaris) and rosemary (Rosmarinusofficinalis) oils adding (in vivo) at a concentrationof 0.5%on the shelf life of raw chilled chicken meat collected from University hospital, as well as their inhibitory effects on foodborne....

ABSTRACT: White root rot (WRR) disease, one of the important diseases of cashew plants in Indonesia, including Southeast Sulawesi, is caused by fungus Rigidoporus lignosus. One method of controlling the disease is the use of biological agents. The current study evaluated B. subtilis ST21e and Trichoderma asperellum and their combinations in controlling WRR through soil application. The study arranged in a randomized block design with eight treatments, each of which given three replicates. These treatments consisted of B. subtilis ST21e, T. asperellum, fungicide mancozeb mixture B. subtilis ST21e, and T. asperellum without inoculation by R. lignosus, and same treatments as mentioned above with inoculation by R. lignosus. Positive control and negative control also made....

ABSTRACT: The present study was conducted during estrous cycle in Baladi female goats to study the effect of chromium and selenium with vitamin E on some blood metabolites to improve the productive performance of female goats under hot summer conditions. Sixty of mature Baladi does with age ranged from 2 to 3 years old and the mean body weight was 26.5±1.3 kg was used under two conditions of winter and summer seasons (30 animals/season). The animals were randomly divided into three groups (ten head in each) during both seasons, the 1st group was kept as control and the 2nd group was supplemented by chromium (chromium chloride trivalent), 0.8 mg/head/day. The 3rd group was intramuscularly injected twice a week with 2ml viteselen®, contained 0.5 mg selenium and 10.7 IU vitamin E (Se-E). Blood metabolites were assessed....
